Chapter 921                                                             

"Pay the full payment first? Are you kidding?" What the Americans didn't expect was that they just proposed to purchase the super-7a developed by this unit that didn't know where in China, and the Chinese made a request.

Jonathan, who had been irritated by all kinds of discomforts, immediately roared.

The Chinese are too shameless!

Even Capers felt that the other party did not understand the international arms trade, so he looked at Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan who accompanied them.

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan had long known the nature of the 404 people who were asking for money, and they smiled faintly at the US Secretary of Defense in surprise.

Capers was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Alex also felt that the Chinese were joking. He looked at Xie Kai with a sarcastic look on his face, "Sir, do you think we must buy your fighter plane?"

Xie Kai didn't care about the other party's ridicule, "Mr. Colonel, our request was not finished. Not only must we pay the payment first, but in order for us not to lose money, we must start at one hundred units..."

"Dream!" Jonathan burst out.

Alex's smile on his face was even better. In his eyes, Xie Kai was completely a fool, a funny guy who was asked by the other party to adjust the atmosphere.

Capers couldn't sit still and looked at Long Yaohua and the others, hoping to get a satisfactory reply, "Two, we are preparing to purchase with sincerity."

Whether Americans have the sincerity of purchasing is not known. Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan.

But Xie Kai's request caught them off guard.

It is understandable to propose such a country that has no military production capacity and is fighting wars and urgently needs equipment.

After all, if you get the money first, the interest generated every year is a huge amount of funds.

But there is an American opposite!

Americans do not urgently need Chinese fighter jets, or even whether they want to.

Don’t Xie Kai know about such a good opportunity?

Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin did not stop him. Don’t they know that the reputation and advertising effect earned by selling fighter jets to the United States is far more effective than getting more profits?

"Hiss Minister, they operate independently... Our reform and opening up is to learn from Western countries and guide market demand. When it does not endanger national development and security, the superior authorities will not intervene too much." Although they do not understand, in the face of Americans' doubts, Li Mingshan still unswervingly turned his back.

For a moment, Capers' face turned pale.

Western countries have always accused China of not having a market economy. Now people give them a market economy. The government cannot interfere too much.

Alex really wants to ask, why has he admitted to the superior authorities now?

When I asked before, I had to contact the relevant department...

But they really couldn't refute Li Mingshan's words.

Western countries accused China of not having a market. Now they follow market rules. Buyers and sellers must reach an agreement before their cooperation can be successful. What can they do?

If the supplier's requirements cannot be met, please look for another supplier.

But at this time, where can I find other suppliers?

Could it be that the Soviet Union would sell the most advanced fighter jets to the United States, so that the United States could understand their fighter jet performance, and at the same time simulate the combat style of the Soviet army to train the American army?

"Yes, Minister, is this not a market rule?" Long Yaohua was about to laugh out loud.

Too marketable!

"Are we not sincere?" Xie Kai was dissatisfied. "My Excellency Minister, we will not set different additional conditions and set different prices for this fighter because of who the buyer is. It is completely based on market rules, without additional political conditions, and is not limited to transfer to third-party countries..."

Xie Kai's words made the Americans even more unable to sit still.

Isn’t this arrogance of the United States calling all kinds of additional conditions for selling equipment, and its attitude is arrogant?

"This was originally the most advanced fighter in our country. Now Sino-US relations are harmonious and there are many technical cooperations, so we are willing to sell them. Otherwise, it would be impossible to sell them just by leaking national defense technology and threatening national defense security!" Zheng Yucheng added.

Don’t Americans use this as an excuse for their advanced technology?

Every time others buy it back, they will leak their technology and endanger the national security of the United States.

What about it in fact?

Just to gain more benefits.

Long Yaohua didn’t know what Zheng Yucheng and the others wanted to do, so it was hard to say what to say now.

I can only listen on the side.

"Do you think we have to buy your fighter jets? Or is there no other country in the world that can provide fighter jets?" Jonathan never expected that they would sell fighter jets to China, but in the end they were stuffed with a bunch of fighter jets by China.

If you buy hundreds of racks back, will this even more likely to squeeze out the order share of several major military-industrial manufacturers that are already fierce in domestic competition?

"Mr. Colonel, we don't think so. After all, we need to measure the cost. This fighter aircraft was originally only introduced by Egypt, and the R&D investment exceeded one billion US dollars... Our Air Force was insufficient in funding, and the cost was already high... After all, one aircraft is only 14 million US dollars..." Xie Kai said the price.

Unexpectedly, this made Americans feel that they were too much.

"Why are these fighter jets so expensive? You only sold them to Egypt for $10 million!" Alex became popular.

It also said that they will not ask for different prices depending on the customer.

Just as the US government is the sucker?

"Col. When we first sold it to Egypt, we didn't expect the cost to rise so much. In recent years, my country's economy has developed rapidly and prices have risen rapidly... At the same time, the price of engines in the Soviet Union has also doubled... After all, this is an engine from the Soviet Union, and it uses exactly the same engine as the MiG-29. If we knew it would be sold to your country, it would probably be more difficult for us to obtain it in the future..." Xie Kai was worried and revealed the news to the Americans.

Sure enough, when the Americans heard that it was using the same engine as the MiG-29, they began to communicate with each other with their eyes.

"There is no way to do this. We only have 200 rd-33 engines, and the performance of the entire fighter is comparable to that of the MiG-29..."

"In addition, although this is just a light fighter, our primary positioning is completely designed according to the trainer aircraft! The general-purpose advanced trainer aircraft is sufficient for pilots who have just had a flight foundation, whether it is avionics system or fire control radar. Our design fully considers the design style of Western fighter aircraft and the design style of Soviet fighter aircraft..." Xie Kai began to introduce the related technologies of the Super-7a.

The engine matter is completely fooling Americans. But what comes behind is really not.

The Super-7a reserves upgrade space for installing a four-degree telex system. The layout in the cockpit is not only designed according to the domestic basis obtained by Soviet fighters, but also refers to the design of the F-14 cockpit obtained by the 404 base.

Although Super-7a was created randomly, it has many integrated things. At the beginning, it was just to sell them to small countries that were accustomed to Western-style fighter jets and operating habits.

I didn't expect that it can still be used to fool Americans now!

Americans have no way of doing this.

Although I didn’t see the real thing, the more I understood it, the more I wanted to get it.

It is very likely that this was done by the Soviets.

Or?

Don't you?

For a moment, the Americans became embarrassed and couldn't continue to talk, so they could only go home first.

Now the relationship between China and the Soviet Union has gradually returned to normal, and the Americans are not unaware of it.

So what if you know?

They are also a sovereign country or a big country.

A great power that must win over and help share the pressure of the Soviet Union.

We can't ask China, you are not allowed to establish good relations with the Soviet Union, right?

Now the Chinese are devoted to making small money and putting aside national defense construction. The United States can only worry about it, right?

If China strives to expand its military strength, the Soviet Union, which is still in its twilight, will naturally not dare to withdraw the elite troops on the border. For the US government, the most in line with their interests is that China fights with the Soviet Union, and then the United States desperately sells weapons to China to support them fight with the Soviet Union.

However, I can only think about it.

China now only wants to make small money, to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people across the country, to get rich, to achieve a well-off society, and not willing to fight...

As for the southwest border, there is still war?

Is that called war?

At most, the two sides were just confrontation. The Chinese army changed batches every now and then to train, and there was no waste of bullets and shells on both sides!

"They are retaliating! We ask China to pay the fees first when the revenge project 82!" After the arrival, Alex said affirmatively.

When the United States and China cooperated to improve the 82 project of China's J-8 fighter jets because China's military expenditure was too low and foreign exchange was in short supply, the Americans did not have any interest at the beginning.

China is too petty and hopes that Americans can help with designing or something from the beginning.

Finally, the United States requires that a certain amount must be reached!

So, after several rounds of negotiations, China finally signed a contract with the United States to improve 50 J-8ii, each avionics system and fire control radar system of US$10 million. China purchased a total of 55 sets, including five of which were spare, with a total contract value of US$550 million.

No one expected that China now demanded the United States in this way...

"We must first see their fighter jets and understand the specific situation!" Jonathan is now starting to worry.

As a strategic analysis department, no one wants to see that China's military technology exceeds what they have.

"Yes, we can take this opportunity to thoroughly understand China's aviation manufacturing level. We must comprehensively re-evaluate China's scientific and technological level and limit the technology we export to China!" Alex also deeply agreed with Jonathan's statement.

Jonathan has selfishness, but Alex is for the benefit of the United States of America.

"If this is the case, would you really buy 100 from China? What are you buying these fighter jets that cannot be used for combat?" Capers asked the two.

"It's totally worth spending more than one billion dollars for national security!" Alex said firmly, "If you understand clearly, we can sell these fighter jets to Indians, or those rich and unskilled countries in the Middle East!"
